As I said elsewhere, I see no point in going in the same circleshere. Frankly, your incompetence is remarkable in this thread.Imagine, a man who claims to understand mathematics well enough toteach it at the college level honestly arguing that 7/9 is aterminating decimal!

Shame on you, WM. Not for being stupid, but for proudly mistakingstupidity for wisdom and for being in the classroom.
